Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and pretzels.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and texture.
Serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze the dough for longer storage.
